Rhino

We have a new rhino calf.  Charlie, translocated with the first group of rhino that came to Mkomazi in 1997, has given birth to a bull calf.  The trackers are keeping a very close eye on them both during these early weeks and months as we have lost a calf to natural predation in the past and are doing all we can to prevent this happening again.

In the wake of the the horrendous upswing in rhino and elephant poaching, and all the devastation that this brings in its wake, we have worked hard on upgrading security systems with more security outposts, communications and external ranger back-up from TANAPA.

The external fence is being constantly fortified and new internal fences have been constructed.

TANAPA carry out regular patrols throughout the whole Park and Tony often flies the TANAPA officers on patrol.
